RCS Complete Functional Safety for pilot
valve
The Redundant Control System (RCS) is the only pilot valve system that has no single point of failure that could result in an unwanted closure of the process valve
The Redundant Control System is certified as fit for use in SIL 3 applications with a spurious trip rate that is lower than Tri-Modular Redundant logic solvers RCS achieves a higher level of process safety and reliability by using a redundant, fault tolerant architecture, high diagnostic coverage, and automated testing

Correct valve sizing in process applications
A discussion on the correct sizing of valves in process industry operations, which is essential for precision, quality and safety: oversizing is as bad in its effects as undersizing!
A keyed bypass allows on-line maintenance of the RCS without process interruption.
The RCS is available in a variety of constructions that provide valve diagnostics through automated, partial stroke testing.
The availability and reliability of RCS provides the most cost effective choice for process valve diagnostics and actuation.
Advantages.
* No nuisance trips.
* Easy on-line maintenance.
* High availability.
* Automated solenoid testing.
* Known technology.
* Automated partial stroke testing.
* Lowest cost option for valve actuation and automated testing.
ASCO simplified the RCS product selection process with an online catalogue number configurator.
Once you have determined the features required, you can easily construct a catalogue number by clicking on each feature required and then clicking the View Details button.
A second screen appears providing the product catalogue number, product attributes, and various drawings.
The configurator is programmed to accept only valid constructions.
In addition to creating a catalogue number, the configurator can also decipher a catalogue number.
Type a valid 5RC or 5LC catalogue number into the window next to the Enter Catalogue Number button (CAPs only).
The configurator automatically highlights the appropriate construction features. Request a free brochure from ASCO Joucomatic ...
